Westworld, like Lost, is a mystery-box TV production that invites viewers to overanalyze, but ultimately it doesn’t warrant that level of investment.

More importantly, I realized that there is no longer a dramatic hook that keeps me enticed; my enthusiasm for the characters has faded. I continued to watch the show after it peaked due to sunk cost fallacy. The show hasn’t dropped off the way Game of Thrones did, but I no longer find it compelling.
